"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

I did a search for "nano train" on the forum and found nothing.  If this has been covered, please point me to the discussion!

Just discovered Nanotrains (www.nanotrains.com). It's not a wheels on track kind of train, but it is intended to look like it.  Very neat idea. VERY affordable.  Would be a great way to add a toy train on a model railroad.

Probably going to buy one just to play.  Anyone have experience?  Any feedback? 

Claims to be 1:1000 scale.  So, on a 1:48 railroad, that would be 1:20, right?

The San Diego RR museum 3 Railers have had 2 of these ILDmotors  trains running daily for years. I was told one of ours is even an early prototype. They do look like a G scale train set next to the O scale trains.

I believe that's exactly where I saw them! Was in SD two weeks ago with Dad and we went to a museum with multiple layouts.  Was yours the one with the Ghostbusters scene and the minions and all the fun trains?

Yes, it was our layout in the back corner room. We are the toy train room so we get to have a little more fun with our trains and scenery than the scale more realistic clubs.

If you looked close one of the nano trains is on a piece of cardboard painted black and the control board is mounted under the station it sits above. The current products he makes look a lot more finished. They are very trouble free, dust or dirt is your only enemy. Every once and a while one of the "train cars or engine" misses the pulse pulling it forward and it will stop and the train will go around and then pile up into it just like in real life accident scenes.  A piece of dust or dirt will be the cause, just pick them up and place them on the track and they start to go. the trick is placing them in order and the spacing. Not to hard to get the hang of.

Wish all my trains were so trouble free!
